Has anyone been successful mining IFC on a *nix flavor with an nVidia card?  I have tried a number of different proposed solutions from around the internet, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I have NEVER EVER been able to get an nVidia card to work with a stratum pool... (maybe someone else here has?)

Have you tried to use the CUDA miner, hooking into a LONG PULL (Not stratum) with a HTTP address (Not TCP)?

Also, make sure you're using the scrypt version....

You need to use cudaminer for Nvidia. Download it at http://forum.litebonk.com/index.php?topic=633.0

Then create a batch file (.bat) as follows:

C:\<path to miner>\cudaminer.exe -o http://treasurequarry.com:9844 -u <your wallet id>+<difficulty level> -p x

Difficultly level explained in link below

I use treasurequarry.com to mine because it I do not have to log into a site and the deposits are transferred into my wallet automatically.
